King Tides, the term is non-scientific and refers to when the moon, sun and Earth align at their closest points and the gravitational pull on the Earth is the greatest. This happens for three day periods during the months of November, December, and January. We finally had a break in the weather and went in January to shoot these big waves at high tide. This is at Shore Acres down by Coos Bay.

Done for Crazy Tuesday.

A little bit of wildlife. A king vulture or Sarcoramphus.

Have a beautiful day, everyone!

Don't forget...no matter your status, wealth, or power during your lifetime, everyone ultimately shares the same fate.

King Parrot (wiki)

In my yard

So, do we call a female King Parrot a Queen? I think we should. This beauty was lurking in the depths of my old computer which I managed to wake this morning from what has been a year long sleep. Had all sorts of dramas with it, but it seemed to wake up fine and I was able to salvage a thousand or so old images from it.

Taken near Apollo Bay in Victoria where they regularly visited the local houses and gardens. So wonderful to get close!

Shooting, with the new camera , I have decided it needs micro adjusting looking at the results across the board.

King Penguins at Volunteer Point

View On Black

The snow is falling and the sun sets at 4:30pm - so it seems fitting, at least for today to post a dark image. I had a good time with this crow, we sort of had a moment together. I love this pose, even with the head out of focus. The feathers look like a work of art - perhaps this is why I am so fascinated with birds:)

Have a lovely weekend! And I'm incredibly grateful for your visit:)

Male Monarch Butterfly, Danaus plexippus, on Tropical Milkweed, Asclepias curassavica. Single image of the same individual who drifted in the breeze in the earlier artsy abstract, on the same plant that had earlier attracted our mystery wasp, both in the comments.

In Nature, everyone takes a turn. Happy Wing Wednesday!

Dedicated to the protection of the Royal Family of Thailand, the King's men stand on guard at the gate of Chakri Maha Prasat Throne Hall.

Von allen historischen Bahnhöfen Londons hat King’s Cross die schönste Konstruktion – zwei einfache wie elegante Stahl- und Glasgewölbe überdachen die achtgleisigen Hallen.

Im Zuge der Vorbereitungen für die Olympischen Sommerspiele 2012 wurde das Londoner Architekturbüro John McAslan + Partners mit der Sanierung und baulichen Erweiterung der über die Jahre arg verkommenen Station beauftragt.

Weite Bereiche von King`s Cross sind denkmalgeschützt.

In zwei Bauabschnitten wurden die Bahnhofshallen gesäubert und neu verglast, sowie die beiden Western und Eastern Range Buildings behutsam saniert bzw. modernisiert.

Der dritte Bauabschnitt, und Höhepunkt der Baumaßnahmen, ist der Western Concourse mit seinem geschwungenen Stahl- und Glasdach, welches freistehend vor dem historischen Western Range Building neu errichtet wurde.

Unter dem sich bis zu 20 m aufschwingenden halbkreisförmigen Dach, mit einer Spannweite von 52 m und einem Durchmesser von 130 m, befindet sich der neue Bahnhofseingang.

Das – gemäß dem Architekten – größte freitragende Bahnhofsdach Europas zeichnet sich durch eine zentrale weiße Stahlfachwerkstütze aus, die wie bei einem Pilz vertikal emporstrebt und sich dann elegant in die Horizontale auffächert.

Der Außenkranz der circa 1.000 t schweren Dachkonstruktion liegt auf sechzehn Baumstützen, die einzeln je eine Last von 60 t aufnehmen.
